'More Love Less War' is a breathtaking celebration of the intersection of tradition and modernity. The project centres on using rich colours and symbols from the designer’s hometown of Jos, Nigeria, to promote peace in the city that has been plagued by over 20 years of ethno-religious conflicts between groups. 

This Project uses the different unique fashion styles, colours and cultural patterns of the ethnic and religious groups in Jos to come up with a design using soft materials that incorporates all the styles, colours and patterns of the indigenous and settler tribes in Jos into one product that represents the entire Jos ethnicity. This design is aimed at building a strong campaign to end the Ethno-Religious conflict in Jos.

Starting with this project and looking to the future, the use of this design as a tool for pushing nonviolent campaigns in Jos is very necessary. The campaign together with the Radical participatory design model will be a very solid tool to achieve this success.
